Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 44,045,545, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 44,045,545 | |
| -1 | -44,045,545 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 44,045,545.
Example:
1 x 44,045,545 = 44,045,545
and
-1 x -44,045,545 = 44,045,545
Notice both answers equal 44,045,545
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 44,045,545 and divide it by 2:
44,045,545 ÷ 2 = 22,022,772.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 22,022,772.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 44,045,545 | |
| -1 | -44,045,545 |
Now, we try dividing 44,045,545 by 3:
44,045,545 ÷ 3 = 14,681,848.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 14,681,848.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 44,045,545 | |
| -1 | -44,045,545 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
44,045,545 ÷ 4 = 11,011,386.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 11,011,386.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 44,045,545 | |
| -1 | 44,045,545 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 43 | 215 | 349 | 587 | 1,745 | 2,935 | 15,007 | 25,241 | 75,035 | 126,205 | 204,863 | 1,024,315 | 8,809,109 | 44,045,545 |
| -1 | -5 | -43 | -215 | -349 | -587 | -1,745 | -2,935 | -15,007 | -25,241 | -75,035 | -126,205 | -204,863 | -1,024,315 | -8,809,109 | -44,045,545 |
